In partnership with UNICEF, the Social Movement organized last Thursday a career guidance fair in Saida’s commercial district with the participation of some 20 specialized institutions. The purpose of the exhibition is to guide school leavers to professions involving photoshop, carpentry, artisan work, hospitality, mobile phones maintenance, industrial welding and other trades. The opening of the fair coincided with the graduation of 200 trainees who completed vocational courses planned by the Social Movement in Saida, Abra and Zahrani (at the Bissarieh premises of the Ministry of Social Affairs Center). The president of the Social Movement, Salma Saudi, said the workshop comes as part of the economic and social empowerment program implemented by the Movement in partnership with UNICEF based on the ‘right of education for all children’ principle. The program, Saudi clarified, targets young elementary Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese school drop-outs youth, aged between 15 to 25 years, with the aim to integrate them in education or guide them professionally. At the end of each course, beneficiaries are supplied with a work toolkit and are guided to where they can get applied training or be offered a job opportunity. (Al Mustaqbal, August 5, 2017)
